1.  The Model VSR-SG has two switches, one can be used to operate a 

central station, proprietary or remote signaling unit, while the other 

contact is used to operate a local audible or visual annunciator.

2.  For supervised circuits, see “Switch Terminal Connections”

The frequency of inspection and testing for the Model VSR-SG and  its associated protective monitoring system shall be in accordance with applicable 

NFPA Codes and Standards and/or the authority having jurisdiction (manufacturer recommends quarterly or more frequently).
A method of testing the VSR-SG must be provided. The valve used for testing shall be easily reached and shall produce a minimum flow of 10 

GPM to activate the switch. The discharge orifice shall be equal to the smallest sprinkler used in the system.

Important:

11  paddles  are  furnished  with  each  unit 

to  accommodate  the  various  sizes  and 

manufacturers  of  TEES. 

The  paddles  have 

raised lettering that show the pipe size and 

the  TEE  manufacturer  they  are  to  be  used 

with. The proper paddle must be used.

 The 

paddle must be properly attached (see Fig. 3) 

and the screw that holds the paddle must be 

securely tightened.
